Hi all,

is there someone who can help me to solve a problem with the attachment plugin?  
I have done the example from documentation ([here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments-helloworld.html)) and this works out fine.

Using the same POST to create a new document with a new attachent works too. I'm using [that pdf](https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/elasticsearch-py/master/elasticsearch-py.pdf) as attachment.  
What NOT works is finding a hit from inside that attachment.

I'm using the following search, e.g.:

POST /trying-out-mapper-attachments/person/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "Elasticsearch"  
}}}

Used ES-Version is 2.1.1

Many thanks and best regards  
Jochen
